Yea, saw this on Ebay a few weeks ago.  Only 30 miles on charge??  Also poor workmanship in the engine bay,  they could have painted the engine bay to correct color, placed new heat pad on firewall, replaced old tarnished parts, and re-plated parts, and made it look new, takes away from looks of exterior body and paint.  Also why did they not use Litium-ion batteries??  The technicality is here today, why not use it.  If they built this SL to flip and make a profit, I think they mssed the boat.
